“Loren, I'm crazy about you. Since the moment I pulled away from you-like an idiot, might I add-I haven't been able to get you out my head. You're all I think about. You're all I want.

I need you to understand that what I did was only to keep you safe. I never wanted to be away from you. That's the last thing I could ever want. Until you came along, my life never made sense. You are the kindest thing that has ever happened to me. You are...you are my home. And I think it's safe to say that my life would be a whole lot darker without you in it. You light up my life, Loren Calla.”

“When Max believes in something, he gives it his whole self. It’s his greatest strength and greatest weakness. And you, Tisaanah, were the first thing he had believed in for a long, long time. It takes more than four walls to break that kind of faith.”

“Red was never a color I'd given much thought to before. It was one of the colors of my house. It was anger, danger, blood.

Then I saw Pendragon-her hair, wild, untamed, burning like dragon fire. And suddenly red wasn't any of those things. It was the scent of jasmine and vanilla, autumn leaves swirling in the wind, the crackle of a fire on a chilly night, the first light of dawn rising golden and rosy. All the things that made life sweet. All the things that made it worth living.

So yeah, red was officially my favorite color now.”
― Briar Boleyn, The Bond That Burns

“If you ever have to guess what I want, or what is best for me, it is you. Alright? I have made that decision already. I do not make it lightly. Don’t disrespect that by claiming that you know better for me than I do. I have made bad decisions before. But you are not, never have been, and never will be one of them. It is always you.”
― Carissa Broadbent, Mother of Death & Dawn
